NATO's AQAP 2210, also known as "NATO Supplementary Software Quality Assurance Requirements to AQAP-2110," is a part of the AQAP (Allied Quality Assurance Publications) series, which sets forth standards to ensure the quality and reliability of military equipment and software used by NATO forces. This specific publication focuses on the software aspects, supplementing the broader AQAP-2110 standard, which covers general quality assurance requirements for defence suppliers.
AQAP 2210 is intended to enhance the quality assurance requirements for software development and maintenance to meet NATO's defence needs. This publication is particularly critical as it addresses the unique challenges posed by software in defence applications, such as reliability, security, and interoperability.
Adherence to AQAP 2210 is crucial for businesses that operate in the defence sector, providing necessary guidance to ensure that software products are robust, secure, and capable of performing in critical military operations.
